I offer only
a watery liquid as a gift to her. She opened her mouth and took same. It
delights her to ask for more. Again, I gave less than half a teaspoonful of the
soup. The peppery spice hit her mind and I gave some water.

Till then,
she had been taking here a little and there a little.

This is how
we should all introduced our little ones to whatever we eat; instead of
breastfeeding them over a year or two, then introducing solid foods to them.

This can have an adverse effect like allergy on them.

Now, I have
a five year old girl too. She likes soups all the while. Give her a soup to eat
with rice or yam, and if you do not mind, she will used up the soup, instead of
finishing it with the chop of rice.

This is also
my weakness when it comes to eating yam or plantain pepper soup meals.

I will
devour the soup first with the onions and basil leaves before anything else. In
fact, the whole plate of soup will go down my throat and I will ask for a
second helping. It is with this that I go with the yam or plantain.

A warm plate
of pepper soup can be cherished by adding half a teaspoonful of dried ginger
powder.

This is a booster to stimulate the digestive, excretory, respiratory
and immune systems.

Vegetable Soups

Soups and
there sources differ all over the world.

Some soups
are made with only vegetables. I mean these were cooked without any fish, or
sea food, or meat. In other words, no animal products ever enter the pot.

Legumes,
like beans are the main ingredients. Pepper, spices, oils, leafy greens are
add. At most three or four kinds of bean in place of fish or meat is required. The various
beans complement one another to give a protein of first class status.
Otherwise, disease is the result.

Soups InVarious Regions Of The World

When it
comes to regions of the world, many varieties of soups can contain differing
ingredients. The puree or thickness even differs. Seeds, nuts, fruits, and
sometimes butter, milk, wine, and eggs are included. Some soups contain carrots,
coconuts, cucumbers, water melon or sweet melon. You never can tell how soups
go with many harvest of nature.

Mushrooms are many favorite in these type of varieties.

Canned Soups

For
convenient sake, some popular soups were canned for export and domestic
consumption in the exporting countries. These are sold all over the world. The
prices are fair. One just opened a can and warmed it in a pot; or you warm it
in a micro oven and enjoy.

With some,
you can add any fresh ingredient like milk, fish, meat, or anything that fancy
your preferences.

Soups are
very popular meals everywhere. It connotes health.

Did you know
that the word soup is the same as restaurant? It comes from the French word
soupe, which originates from the latin word suppra.

It means
restoring something. It refers to a concentrate that is an antitode to bodily
exhaustion.

In the 16th
century when fruit juices were getting on stream, soups had already made vital
marks.

They were being marketed and seems more popular and cheaper than juices
to get anywhere. They energized the body more than lemonades, which are the
first bottled juices and is costly, being first imported from the Middle East.

Orange
juices came late, where soup already is king.

Jean
Baptiste, a French nobleman who flees from the French Revolution to Boston (USA) is credit to
opening a restaurant and named it “The Restorator.”
